Blue and Green cooperative luminescence of highly Yb-doped optical fiber

Abstract

Blue luminescence emitted from ytterbium-doped fiber under infrared excitation was observed, along with well-known green cooperated luminescence. We suggest blue luminescence is due to higher-order cooperated luminescence related three excited ytterbium ions.

Investigations of cooperative luminescence in Yb-doped optical fiber due to different transitions between sublevels

Fundamental and higher-order cooperative luminescence emitted from Yb-doped optical fiber (YDF) are observed. Each luminescence is well related to different transition between sublevels of YDF located in the infrared region. Detailed transition properties of YDF are discussed.

Non linear effects in monomode ytterbium doped silica fibers : cooperative luminescence

Youcef Ouerdane, Sylvain Magne, M. Druetta +3 more

The visible cooperative luminescence in Ytterbium-doped optical fibres was observed using a Titanium-Sapphire infrared laser excitation (≈900nm). The evolution of this luminescence as a function of absorbed power is discussed. The optical confinement therefore enables us to observe new saturation effects which are studied for two different Ytterbium fibres.

Cooperative luminescence and absorption in Ytterbium-doped silica fiber and the fiber nonlinear transmission coefficient at λ=980 nm with a regard to the Ytterbium ion-pairs’ effect

Alexander V. Kir’yanov, Yuri O. Barmenkov, I. Lucio-Martinez +2 more

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the nonlinear transmission coefficient in a set of Ytterbium-doped silica fibers (YFs) with various concentrations of Yb(3+) ions at continuous-wave 980-nm pumping is reported. An analysis of the obtained experimental data shows that YF transmission coefficient is notably affected by the presence of Yb(3+) - Yb(3+) ion-pairs in the fibers, especially in heavily-doped ones. The last fact is confirmed by the study of the cooperative luminescence and absorption effects in the fibers, where a detailed inspection of their dependence on Yb3+ concentration is presented. The pairs' effect is shown to seriously modify both the nonlinear character of YF transmission coefficient at lambda = 980 nm and Yb(3+) excited-state relaxation. A modeling of the experimental data is performed, which allows to find the coefficients addressing the pairs' effect in each of YFs under study and, as a result, to fit the experimentally measured dependences of YF transmission coefficient on pump power, fiber length, and Yb(3+) concentration.

Cooperative luminescence and absorption in Ytterbium-doped silica fiber and the fiber nonlinear transmission coefficient at λ=980 nm with a regard to the Ytterbium ion-pairs' effect: Comment

R. Paschotta, Anne C. Tropper

Recently, significant power losses in ytterbium-doped fibers have been interpreted as resulting from the formation of ytterbium ion pairs [A. V. Kir'yanov et al., Opt. Express 14, 3981 (2006)]. However, there appears to be strong evidence against this model.

[Cooperative luminescence in Yb:YAG crystals].

Yanli Mao, Fei Ding, Changshun Wang +2 more

Cooperative luminescence phenomenon of Yb:YAG crystals was studied. Up-converted blue luminescence was obviously observed in Yb:YAG under excitation in the near-infrared region with a wavelength 940 nm. Experimental evidence was provided by the fact that the intensity of 498 nm luminescence shows a quadratic dependence on excitation power, and the intensity of blue luminescence increased with the increase in Yb ion concentration. It is concluded that this luminescence is due to a cooperative process resulting from a strong interaction of Yb ions. The cooperative luminescence is possiblely assigned to the strong interaction of 4f(13) electrons and neighboring Yb3+ ions in a covalent host lattice such as YAG. Theoretical cooperative luminescence spectrum was calculated.
